Designed for Skin Protection and Positioning

to Maximize Pressure Relief and Comfort

Molded Foam Core with Progressive
Support Technology (PST)

Designed to contain the thighs and pelvis

in the correct seang posture. PST produces
the right degree of cushion firmness. Smaller,
lightweight clients receive a soer more

compliant cushion, average weight clients a

medium firmness and larger heavier clients
receive a firmer more supporve cushion.
The unique construcon of high resilient (HR)
molded foam provides maximum stabiliza­on, posioning, pressure relief and correct
seang posture.

Protecve Inner Liner

Inner liner is a durable, so, sealed,

moisture proof membrane to provide protec­on from inconnence and ease of cleaning.
Air vents permit evacuaon of air when
seated to provide comfort.

The Posturel Cushion Cover

Outer cover is a removable, washable,
flame retardant, stretch polyester knit to
reduce interface pressure and shearing. It is
constructed with a vapor permeable moisture
proof urethane backing and a non-slip
boom for comfort and safety.

Use and Applicaon of the Pressure EEZ®
Posturel™ Wheelchair Cushion

The Posturel™ Cushion is uniquely designed using

a high resilient (HR), custom molded foam core that

posions the body in the correct seang posture,
provides a leg abducon post to prevent hip rotaon
and abrasion. The Posturel™ Cushion is strategically
contoured to provide opmum seang posture.
Posturel™ Cushions remain cool when combined
with the breathable moisture proof cover.

Remember, no cushion can eliminate seang pressure or totally prevent

pressure sores, therefore, you should regularly check for skin redness as a

noted indicator of ssue breakdown. The Posturel™ Cushion may be used in
a sling seat wheelchair or with a solid seat insert.

The Posturel™ Cushion has a moisture resistant cover designed to repel

fluids but it is not intended as an inconnent cushion nor should it be
submerged in water or used as a bathtub seang product. Replacement
covers are available from your Hudson dealer.

Size Selecon of the Pressure EEZ®
Posturel™ Wheelchair Cushion

Simply select the cushion that would match the width of your hips when

seated. Cushion size should not be determined by the wheelchair seat
width. Improper cushion fit will affect the performance of pressure
distribuon of the cushion and its proper posioning support of the body.

The length of the cushion should be determined by placing the cushion
at the back of the wheelchair while the length extends to the front within 1"
to 2" from the back of the knees. The ischial tuberosies (sing bones)
should be centered in the seat in the center of the back seang area.

The footrest should be adjusted properly in order to enhance seang
comfort and help to lower peak seang pressures.

In order to prevent the Posturel™ Cushion from sliding on the wheelchair
upholstery, especially during transfers, follow these instrucons:

Step 1. Thoroughly clean the surface of the

wheelchair seat.

Step 2. Peel off the paper backing of the Velcro®

strip provided and place 2" from the front, in the
center of the wheelchair seat, as shown.

Step 3. Place the cushion on the wheelchair. The

Velcro® strip on the boom of the upholstered

Posturel™ Cushion as well as the non-slip surface

and the Velcro® strip placed on the seat will
prevent sliding when changing body posion
while seated.
